Barenaked Ladies - Skinhead lyrics

[Barenaked Ladies - Skinhead lyrics]

Skinhead, oh skinhead skinhead with
A hearing aid
Skinhead, oh skinhead skinhead with
A hearing aid
Skinhead, oh skinhead no, he’s not a neo Nazi
Skinhead, oh skinhead he just
Dresses that way
He just wants to keep me afraid
That he can kill me with one swift kick
To a special part of the brain
Skinhead with a hearing aid

Skinhead, oh skinhead skinhead with
A walking stick
Skinhead, oh skinhead skinhead with
A walking stick
Skinhead, hey skinhead here have some
Vitamins you might get sick
Skinhead, ooooh skinhead he don’t
Prescribe to any doctrines
So then if he’s not a real skinhead
Then why does he keep shouting racist
Comments at my sister’s boyfriend
Skinhead, oh skinhead skinhead with
A walking stick

There were times, there were times
When I was scared of walking home from school

There were times, there were times
When I thought he would scowl at
Me, and yell at me
And show me the bottom of his Doc Martins

Skinhead, oh skinhead skinhead
With a razorblade
Skinhead, oh skinhead skinhead
With a razorblade (Isn’t he lovely)
Skinhead, oh skinhead (isn’t he wonderful)
Isn’t just a harmless costume
Skinhead, oh skinhead
If you keep on yelling "Immigrant go home!"
Then you’re not just saving
Money on hair, mousse, and combs
Whoa oh-whoa
Skinhead, skinhead with a razorblade
Skinhead, yeah, skinhead with a hearing aid
Skinhead, oh, skinhead
You know, he’s not a neo Nazi
